It's getting hard to find these cars with less than 20k miles.

I get a kick out of people thinking that they're going to pick up a mint condition, super low mileage SS car for the low price listed in KBB. KBB means very little when it comes to special interest/hobby friendly cars like V8 F-bodies. They almost always sell for more than KBB price.
The car isn't worth $30k, but I don't know anyone that'll let a mint, 14k mile '98 SS go for $10k. At least not in my area. Unless they are super-hurting for cash.
If I owned that car privately, I'd list it for $14-15k and wouldn't sell it for less than $12-13. And I'm not even a dealer. I'm very confident it would bring at least $12k on a private sale in my region.

Look for something in the 40-70k mile range, they can usually be had for $9-12k depending on year and options. No reason to pay a show car price for something you're going to drive all the time and in bad weather, etc.

Ive been looking for a new Fbody since Sept, Good luck finding a NICE one for around BB Value. I mean sure you can find a 100K+ mile car, but to find a nice one your gonna have to take a hit.

In my area I could sell a mint Low mile 98 SS like that for 15k private party..so that price for my area would be great from a dealer..but for other areas of the country it would be a little high.
I'd say it will sell quite quick if it is as nice as it looks in the pictures

If you're going to daily drive the car, there's really no point in paying a preimum to get one with such low mileage.
Look for something in the 40-70k mile range, they can usually be had for $9-12k depending on year and options. No reason to pay a show car price for something you're going to drive all the time and in bad weather, etc.
